Join a host of stars for charity event MONDAY AT THE MUSICALS

Having been created three years ago by Ellen Bisci and marking 20 years since Ellen was first diagnosed with cancer, charity concert Monday at the Musicals returns to the Lyric Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue on 12 May.

The evening will feature a whole host of West End stars, including Joanne Clifton (The Rocky Horror Show, UK tour; Flashdance the Musical, UK tour), Holly Bannis (What’s Love Got To Do With It, UK tour), Tom Lidgley (Royal Academy of Music), Freddie King (Titanique, West End), Sarah Goggin (Back to the Future the Musical, West End), Maggie Lynne (Wicked), Georgina Castle (Mean Girls), and Nadim Naaman (The Phantom of the Opera, European Tour) – with further artists to be announced soon. The concert will also showcase a performance of a brand-new song, written especially for Ellen for the night’s performance.

This year's show is co-produced by Ellen, Laura Baldwin and Natalie Naaman, and features musical direction by Paul Herbert.

The one-time event will raise money for charities Children with Cancer UK and Trekstock.

Ellen said: “I started the initial concert to raise money for the charities which have supported me whilst also wanting to thank the musical theatre industry that means so much to me.”

Proceeds from the show will support Children with Cancer UK, helping the charity continue its vital work. Children with Cancer UK is the leading charity for children and young people affected by cancer in the UK. Their vision is for every child and young person to survive their cancer diagnosis. They work to improve survival rates and the long-term quality of life for those who do, while also striving to find ways to prevent cancer in the future. Children with Cancer UK are working on kinder, more effective treatments for childhood cancers so that no child has to go through the same gruelling treatments and suffer the debilitating side effects that Ellen has.

Tickets for Monday at the Musicals are on sale now here.
